"……"

The third day in the Mystic World.

When Jiang Che got out of bed, his roommate Zhu Xiaoling was already nowhere to be found.

She wasn't under the bed either...

Zhu Xiaoling's whereabouts were always unpredictable.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Jiang Che borrowed a few Snickers bars from Zhu Xiaoling's drawer and headed towards the teaching building.

As for the daily deaths in the dormitory, there was still no news.

After all, the instructor got taken down by Ye Qingyao on the first night, and last night Jiang Che showed off his skills, so maybe the instructor really didn't have time to kill anyone.

On the way, Jiang Che ran into Ye Qingyao.

He also encountered Yang Ziyang, who looked worried.

Seeing Jiang Che, Ye Qingyao said, "Hu Junjie died last night."

"Died or quit?" Jiang Che asked.

Ye Qingyao glanced at Yang Ziyang, who shrank back and said, "Last night, Hu Junjie asked me to go to that abandoned dormitory with him."

"Then we saw a lot of Uncanny things, I ran out, and Hu Junjie..."

"He should have quit. I went to his dorm this morning to find him, but he wasn't there."

Jiang Che: "Did you discover anything last night?"

Yang Ziyang shook his head and said, "I was scared to death, what could I have discovered?"

Yang Ziyang's timid demeanor almost fooled everyone, if not for Wang Defa seeing him attack Hu Junjie.

As for why Yang Ziyang didn't quit, Jiang Che couldn't be bothered to ask.

Since he stayed, asking would just make him look like an idiot.

Everyone has their own ambitions, just don't mess with me.

...

Entering the teaching building, the three parted ways, each heading to their own class.

The first class today was chemistry.

However, Wang Defa, who had just become the class representative yesterday, was already gone.

Jiang Che was the only challenger left in the class, and it felt a bit empty.

"Ring ring ring..."

The class bell rang.

But it wasn't the chemistry teacher who walked in, it was the homeroom teacher, Teacher Ma.

Teacher Ma scanned the class with a smile and said, "Class, I have some good news to announce today."

The students sat up straight, not daring to respond.

Good news?

Don't kid us... not tearing us apart is the best news.

Teacher Ma continued, "With finals approaching, the school has decided to organize an event to relieve your stress. After the event, exams will begin!"

"Wow—!"

The class erupted.

"What kind of event?"

"Is this an early test? I haven't finished reviewing, boo hoo..."

"Me neither, I haven't even finished the mandatory questions, I'm doomed this time."

However, Teacher Ma seemed oblivious to the students' "enthusiastic" discussions and continued to announce the event.

"This event is called—Cat and Mouse Hide and Seek!"

"I'll be the cat, and you'll be the mice. If the mice get caught by the cat, they'll be eaten!"

"Once the bell rings, you'll have fifteen minutes to hide within the teaching building. Make sure not to be found by me!"

"Oh, and besides me, Chemistry Teacher Mei and English Teacher Gu will also participate."

"The event ends at the end of the school day."

"That's it, simple as that."

"Did everyone understand?"

Teacher Ma's eyes were bloodshot, and saliva uncontrollably dripped from the corner of his mouth...

The students exchanged terrified glances.

Jiang Che couldn't help but frown.

So, does this mean the test is tomorrow, and this Uncanny Trial has been forcibly shortened by a day?

Why is that?

Is something deliberately preventing the challengers from completing their tasks?

It's quite possible.

After all, ordinary tasks are disrupted by the Uncanny, let alone hidden challenge tasks.

At that moment, a task notification sounded in his ear.

"Side Task: Cat and Mouse Hide and Seek"

"Task Requirement: Avoid being found by the 'cat' during the event."

"Friendly Reminder: Mice aren't necessarily afraid of cats. Only those who survive can participate in the final big test."

"……"

Interesting.

Jiang Che squinted his eyes, starting to calculate in his mind.

...

Soon, the bell rang.

The students scattered, disappearing without a trace.

At the same time.

The fog Jiang Che saw yesterday surged in from all directions, finally gathering around the teaching building...

"Jiang Che, aren't you going to hide?" Teacher Ma said, watching Jiang Che while pulling out a...

A large chainsaw!

With a pull of the cord.

"Vroom vroom vroom!"

The teeth spun rapidly, making a grating sound.

Jiang Che swallowed.

Damn it.

I knew this event was dangerous.

But pulling out something like this is just too much, isn't it?

You really aren't human.

At that moment, a line of bloody words appeared in his mind.

【Thanks to Teacher Gu for convincing the principal, it's been a while since we had such an interesting event. So interesting, so interesting, let this cat chop all the mice to pieces! Ahahaha...】

Teacher Gu?

The English teacher who hasn't appeared yet?

Jiang Che remembered the first class was English, but Teacher Ma substituted.

He said at the time... the English teacher's tongue was cut off by the principal?

Looking again at the "chainsaw maniac," Jiang Che dashed out of the classroom.

At this moment, the entire teaching building was eerily quiet.

Not a single person was visible in any classroom on any floor.

At this time, Xiaoman smacked her lips and said, "Hiding isn't our style, let's just fight?"

Jiang Che: "Can we not just think about fighting all the time?"

Xiaoman: "Then what do you plan to do?"

Jiang Che: "Let's observe a bit more, where do you think is safer to hide?"

Xiaoman snorted, "Hmph, I never hide."

Jiang Che: "..., you're so brave."

After wandering around outside.

Finally, while Teacher Ma closed his eyes, waiting for the game to start.

Jiang Che sneaked back into the classroom and hid behind the curtains...

As they say, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

I'm such a clever rogue!

At that moment.

"Ring ring."

The class bell rang.

Immediately after.

"Vroom vroom vroom!"

The sound of the chainsaw started again.

And the next second.

Teacher Ma's tearing voice echoed in the classroom.

"How dare you hide right under my nose?"

"Found you..."

Jiang Che: ???
